Hey everyone,
Welcome to Patch 4! In this patch we’ve got quality of life fixes, new sounds for the Panther Sherman and Pak 40 as well as a number of bug fixes.
If you don’t see a bug you’ve wanted squished in the list below, be sure to check out an update from Max after the change list!
[b]UPDATE:[/b] We regret that our patch went live with some incorrect scaling of player icons on the map. We will be working to apply a patch for these as soon as possible and apologise for the reduced legibility in the meantime.

[h1]Bug squishing update from Max[/h1]
We’ve been working hard on both the VOIP issues that have been recurring, as well as issues around the server browser not displaying or showing appropriate servers - or sometimes showing an empty server browser. In the last two days we have internally applied many fixes to these and will hope to roll out significant fixes as soon as possible.
Thanks so much for your patience - we know how irritating and frustrating these specific bugs are.
We'll see you on the frontline!
